Originating deep within Taiwu Mountain, the Long Celestial River rushes grandly, flowing towards the southeast.
Upon the wide river, a merchant ship unfurls its sails, drifting downstream.
Its speed rivals galloping horses!
Zhang Yuan stands on the ship's bow deck, gazing at the vast, boundless Land of Marsh.
The Great Dream Marsh is nearly at hand!
The merchant ship he's aboard belongs to a renowned trading company from Xia Ruins, maintaining consistent trade relations with the Great Dream Marsh area.
Zhang Yuan spent fifteen taels of silver to secure a place on this ship.
Yet, at this moment, he no longer bears his original visage.
Even those most familiar with Zhang Yuan, standing before him, would likely fail to recognize him!
He has taken on the appearance of Chen Zian!
Eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth—all facial features are perfectly replicated, indistinguishable from the original.
